Title: Event with Mr. Arima
Post by: Markshoreline on July 31, 2014, 11:09:16 PM
I've always wondered about the genius behind our boats and would like to meet him and hear his story.  Would this concept be interesting to anyone besides me?  I don't have anything specific  in mind right now, maybe a dinner or lecture or whatever, along with a Q and A of course!
What do you think?  Anybody have a connection?  Ideas?
It would be best after the fall silver season...

I would imagine that Don Gross can get ahold of him ? Maybe an appearance at the boat show ? Seattle ? He can come to our dinner ?

I suspect it would take a lot of hat sales ($$$) to pay his fare, hotel, meals etc.....

Close SK, drop the I,  two words
Hale = house  Koa = warrior  Very appropriate as they cater only to active and retired military personnel ( and qualified family members and govt empolyees)

Thank you for your service!!

We can all get to Hawaii with VT.  Hear he has connections.

Thanks for your service, SK.  Can we non-military types stay at the Halekoa as your guests??

Guests in your room are OK.  You can't rent another room unless one in the group is authorized

BigMac,

I got your back!  I can do the flights and the room.  I have contacted the Marine Base on Pearl Harbor and I have access to the boat rental program.
